Success Tips For True Wealth

Hi friends! its really been a long while. i just had to take some time off to repackage and reposition for the best..I always wonder why people say money makes the world go round and i have come to realize that indeed there could be some truth in such saying. We now live in a world where being poor will automatically push you to the background, where your views and opinion in an important issues of life is neglected and silenced, where only the rich have better and reasonable ideas.I come from a place where the quest to be rich and famous is the only thought in the minds of the youth. And they are willing to go any length to actualize their dreams. Or how else would you reconcile this abnormally in our today society.


Feeling poor can make achieving success difficult, if not impossible. Geography, occupation, spiritual belief, or even catastrophe can be major contributors to poverty. However, there are some forms of poverty that we create ourselves. Taking note of your current state of 'wealth' or 'poverty' in these areas is a vital step to success. People who have not achieved success are usually time poor, people poor, or money poor. Here is a brief look at each of these forms of self-poverty. Time Poor The same amount of time is given to all of us every day. The only difference is what is done with that time. Those who are time poor often feel there is not enough time to get anything done. Where many tend to go wrong in this area is in over-estimating how much time is left to complete something, and under-estimating how long it will take. It's a common mistake. How would you rate yourself? One way to overcome this time deficit is to develop the habit of being on time, or even early when possible. Of course, being early can mean waiting longer for someone else. You can combat this down-time by having something to work on; catching up on reading, writing down ideas, or making a few phone calls. If you are lacking in this area, start developing the habit of promptness. People Poor Family and friends are supposed to be a priority, sadly for some people this is not so. The pursuit of the almighty dollar stays at the forefront, while personal relationships suffer. It's okay to strive for more income to provide the things you and your family want. Yes, that may require long hours and hard work, but it's important to maintain balance. Are there relationships in your life that need some improving? Or, are things going great? Here are a few thoughts on improving a people poor situation. Schedule time to spend in your most important relationships. When you are spending time with family and friends, enjoy it. This doesn't mean you have to participate in planned activities or vacations, instead try laughing together, talking together, or just being in the presence of one another. Money Poor This can be a tough one. The credit card companies make it tempting and easy to go into debt. Advertising whets our appetite for keeping up with our neighbors. We can feel deprived when we don't get the things we think we deserve. It seems to be a vicious cycle. Taking an honest look at your situation is the only way to know where you are. People who are money poor are often quick to begrudge those who are wealthy. Never-mind that most people who are wealthy have earned it fair and square. This poor attitude contributes greatly to money poorness. Changing attitudes about money can be hard, even if you are a normal person, with a normal job, and a normal paycheck. However, to help change your attitude try this exercise: whenever you hear someone making a comment about the financially well-off being greedy, dishonest, or lucky - do your best to politely express the contrary view. Why would you let someone speak badly of something you hold dear? As you become more aware of where your deficits are, you will be able to increase your richness in that area. The truly successful are those who feel no lack in those three areas.

NEVER GIVE UP

DONT GIVE UP

As i was flipping through the pages of a daily news magazine pondering on the views of my favourite columnist then a thought came to my mind on the topic in view DONT GIVE UP.


I have come to realize that there are three kinds of people:

Those who accept defeat(s), Those who do not accept defeat(s) but but remain defeated and Those who say no to defeat(s).

The defeat that am referring to in this context should not be mistaken for in the game of sports. But i was looking at it from the view point of a man's ability to overcome the challenges of life; what people fail to realize is that life is not a bed of roses, as you progress in life to another level the more difficult the task wii be... let us critically study the three kinds of people afore mentioned.

In the fisrt category, we have those who accept defeat(s).These kind of people can be found every where and as a matter of fact they are more than the other categories of people. These set of people are fast in giving you excuses for their life failures; they are quick to tell you tales of woes they have gone through in life; how the economic situation has really affectted the fortunes of their business; how the death of their rich uncle made them not to continue with college education; how bad health has hindered them from taken up jobs in blue chip companies etc. There stories are endless and they go about soliciting for sympathizers. THE MAJOR PRLOBLEM WITH THESE GROUP OF PEOPLE IS THAT THEIR PREDICAMENT DOES NOT REALLY BOTHER THEM HENCE, ACCEPT DEFEAT.

The second category of people are those who do not accept Defeat(s) but remain defeated. These setof people are those i refer to as not having the ZEAL or what some people would call the WilL POWER.These set of people knows what is takes to to get to the top, they have it well planned , even carried out a feasibility study on their various endeavours of life but still some thing is missing. They dont have what i call the life shock absorber in their mindset, i.e the ability of a person to bounce back from an unpleasant circumstance(s) and as such they remain defeated.

The last category of people are those who say no to defeat(s), they are the resilient people with an extraordinary minndset and vision.They have vowed that no matter how bad their present predicament may be, they will NEVER GIVE UP. These group of people understood the phrases which says TOUGH TIMES DONT LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO.

In what ever you do put God first, and NEVER GIVE UP!
